By providing an applied and modern approach, this volume will help
readers understand the value and relevance of studying chemical
physics and technology to all areas of applied chemical
engineering, and gives them the depth of coverage they need to
develop a solid understanding of the key principles in the field.
Presenting a wide-ranging view of current developments in applied
methodologies in chemical and biochemical physics research, the
papers in this collection, all written by highly regarded experts
in the field, examine various aspects of chemical and biochemical
physics and experimentation. The book: * Highlights applications of
chemical physics to subjects that chemical engineering students
will see in graduate courses * Introduces the types of challenges
and real problems that are encountered in industry and graduate
research * Provides short chapters that introduce students to the
subject in more bite-sized pieces * Presents biochemical examples
and applications * Focuses on concepts above formal experimental
techniques and theoretical methods The book is ideal for
upper-level research students in chemistry, chemical engineering,
and polymers. The book assumes a working knowledge of calculus,
physics, and chemistry, but no prior knowledge of polymers.
